Chapter 60: Chapter 60

'Don't....' She whispered as he pulled the pins from her hair, so that it fell loose around her shoulders.

He looked at her, his face all shadowed angles in the candle light, his eyes black, glittering.

'It's as though we've never been apart', he said quietly, threading his fingers through the loose silk of her hair feeling the texture, the shining thickness against her skin. 'Three years is a hell of a lot time to wait'.

Holding herself rigid, Sharon abandoned her pride and whispered, 'Please Bryan, let me go'.

He shook his head. 'I can't', he said thickly. 'I have to know what Gerhard taught you'.

He be t, his mouth against her throat, kissing her skin tenderly, unhurriedly. She shuddered at his touch, desire racing through her body, heating her blood. She wanted to push him away but she couldn't move, couldn't protest.

Bryan raised his head, staring into her eyes as his hands began unbuttoning the cashmere dress. She felt the sensual brush of his fingers against her bare skin, moving lower, until the dress fell away altogether.

'Bryan-----' The words wouldn't come and she knew that he saw the fever in her eyes. Taking her body between his hands, his mouth parted her in a deep savage kiss that made her head spin. She couldn't control her response. It was as hot as fire and as violent as his demand.

He didn't offer tenderness now,only desire and as his mouth plundered hers, Sharon felt her control slipping away. She did not want to feel like this. If she let him make love to her now, she would hate herself, despise her own weakness. But she felt Bryan's mouth kissing her naked breasts and moaned, aching back her head, her inclinations dissolving. She wanted him, so badly. She couldn't fight the sensations that were running through her like a tidal wave.

Then suddenly, she was past coherent thought, reaching for him blindly. He shuddered as she touched him, his mouth finding hers again, lifting her into his powerful arms and laying her gently on the rug in front of the fire.

His burning gaze swept slowly over her nakedness, his hands exploring the sift familiar curves of her body.

It was a deliberate act if possession. He touched her with a lingering slowness,easing the long unsatisfied need inside himself. He stated at her long slender body, his breath coming quickly and unevenly. He kissed her flesh, following the oath that had been laid bare by his hands. He made love to her slowly, holding back, reining his own desire as he aroused her, until Sharon reached out for him, pulling him down, her hands touching his smooth powerful shoulders, his deep chest, crying out his name as he entered her.

His mouth brushed hers with a devouring I tensity, the thrust of his body betraying his agonizing need.

She clung to him, shaking, no longer aware of anything but his strength, his mastery and the desire that was almost too fierce to bear. She knew that she cried out her love for him. She couldn't help herself. She held him, her nails raking his smooth skin, her body yielding, opening beneath his and fir the first time in three long empty years, Bryan possessed what had always been his.

She gave him everything, her body, her soul, forgetting in her abandonment that it had never been enough, that in the cold light if day, there would be nothing but regrets.

They slept afterwards and like formally, he had gone before she woke but had made sure that her car was brought to the flat for her convenience.

She woke to find him gone. It was just as well be ause she didn't think that she could have been able to face him.

She buried herself in her work and in the care of her child. She tried all she could to keep away from Bryan. She avoided him but it was not too difficult because he seemed reluctant to see her. He knew where she lived with her cousin and daughter but he never came there again.

And why should he? Afterall, he had got what he wanted. He had made love to her and had heard her scream of her love for him. Do he had defeated her hands down, so she meant nothing to him anymore but a piece of used rag.

All he had said about him not bring able to satisfy his hunger with anyone else but herself had just been part of the trick he employed in seducing her.

She felt ashamed of herself. What gave her joy was her daughter and as much as she tried to forget him yet again, her daughter kept reminding her of him. All she needed to do was look at her and she would feel that she was staring at the female version of Bryan.

Her work was the only thing that took her mind if him. Though she kept wondering what he was doing and with whom he was with after work hours at the bank because he still worked there with David.

The night was always the worst. There was no work to keep her occupied except if she intentionally brought work home to make her so exhausted so that she falls asleep without any thought.

Her daughter would be asleep and so would Gabriel and she would be left with her thoughts, feelings and desires.

She cursed her luck. Oliver had not said anything about any dinner date since the last time he asked and she had excused herself because if David's birthday party but when he thought that she was not watching,he would let down his guard and she would see his heart in his eyes and she felt bad for him because she knew exactly what he was passing through. It was not unlike what she was undergoing. Insanely I love with. Ryan who did not give a hoot about her but always came back at his leisure to have his way with her because he felt that he could, that he dated be ause of the power she had given him through the knowledge that she loved him and desired him above all others.
